Studying the effect of steam blow-off on the boundaries of stable draining of separated moisture from the louver unit

A methodology for determining the boundaries of stable draining of separated moisture from a louver-type moisture separator with blowing off the steam entrained from the separator’s collecting pocket. Dependences of the pressure drop factor from the model’s inlet to the collecting pocket on the modified Froude number and of the pressure drop factor for the blow-off outlet into the concurrent flow on the ratio of their velocities, which are used for calculating the flowrate and geometrical dimensions of the blow-off path, are presented.
